CHKDSK???????!!!

Yesterday when I went to the office I was again greeted with the message on my computer from McAfee to reboot.  Since I had some paperwork to do I finally told it to do that.  I immediately got the CHKDSK message.  I knew this was not good, especially when I saw the delete, obsolete, fix, and error words...EGADS!  That computer has all my accounting and payroll is Friday.  I freaked and called our nephew who is a computer tech.  He validated that it was not good and said the hard drive is probably going out.  Man this computer is only 2 years old and a great computer.  He said to let it finish and then see what happens.  It finished quickly while I was on the phone with him and low and behold I was able to get into my files!  Thank goodness since I had not backed up the accounting for the week yet.  I immediately backed up and started making backup disks of the important stuff on the computer just in case.  I'm a bit scared to go in today and actually didn't even close Quickbooks.  Guess it is time to upgrade it...
